Rethinking Our Position as Civil Society Actors

When we talk about local philanthropy, I often emphasize the importance of “position” and “repositioning.”

As civil society actors, it is crucial that we pause and ask ourselves: What is our perceived position in the development space? To the people we work with, what image do we project? And to our stakeholders and constituents, what message do we consistently send?

Amidst all our advocacy, many of us still approach communities with the mindset of “we have come to help you,” instead of “we have come to collaborate with you.” This language matters because development is not about rescuing, it is about co-creating. True and lasting progress can only be achieved when development becomes inclusive, and when communities see themselves as partners, not beneficiaries.

It’s time we reposition ourselves as collaborators and partners in community development; as institutions that mobilize support locally, not just those that depend on international donors. We must start amplifying the strengths and potential of the communities we work with, rather than focusing solely on their challenges.

Let us move from harvesting weaknesses and threats to harnessing strengths and opportunities. If we truly seek sustainable development and if we want communities to rise, take ownership, and act for themselves then the conversation must shift. It is time to reflect on our current position and intentionally reposition ourselves for the future we want to see.

Alima😊

Last week, I had the privilege of facilitating a training session with the young ladies of the YOFEL Fellowship Institute, a mentorship initiative by FEAD Ghana
I took them through the Basics of Fundraising, covering key areas such as:
1️⃣ Basics and definitions of resource mobilization
2️⃣ Internal resource mapping
3️⃣ Networking and mobilizing people
4️⃣ Effective fundraising techniques
5️⃣ Designing a fundraising plan

This session was designed to empower them with practical skills to successfully fundraise for their end-of-institute projects.

A special appreciation to the FEAD Ghana team for the opportunity to share, and to FundXcelerate for proudly supporting these young women as they mobilize resources to drive impactful developmental interventions. Together, we are building a stronger culture of local philanthropy and sustainable change.

FUNDRAISING TRAINING FOR School for Life Ghana

I facilitated a session on local resource mobilization last week for 36 Staff, Volunteers and CBE alumni of School for Life Ghana

This training is part of the organizations efforts in diversifying resources for their interventions in the face of the ongoing foreign aid crisis. As part of the financial sustainability component under the CSSF anchored by STAR-Ghana Foundation and West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) , a 2 days training was organized.

Like I always do for my sessions, we delve deep into the concept of local resource mobilization, breaking misconceptions and finally raising funds in a 20 minutes exercise to support the re-entry of 30 children in Jegbo.

The second day saw us getting more than 10 monthly donors subscriptions and action plans on how to grow what we started at the training.

Guess you are wondering how we did all that, you need to book a training session with us I guess.

Funds raised will be used to purchase learning materials to facilitate the entry of 30 transitioned learners at jegbo primary school in the Kumbungu district.

Appreciation to the management and staff of school for life for the opportunity.

I spent last March in Kigali with Representatives from
Wajamama- Tanzania,
Saye Company-Rwanda
Agati Library-Rwanda
Rebirth of a Queen-Kenya
Girl power foundation -Uganda
Maxim Nyansa- Ghana.

Facilitating my session on Local Resource Mobilization, I as usual took participants through a very exciting fundraising journey and how to mobilize local resources for their interventions.

At the end of the exercise we mobilized instantly more than #$1000. And every team got at least 2 monthly pledges to start with.

My sessions are always filled with practical sessions to give hands on practicals that debunk the belief that it's not possible to raise funds in Africa.

Appreciation to the New Africa Fund team for this opportunity and to all participants for the earnest dedication and participation.

In June 2025, I had the privilege of joining fellow trainers in Kigali, Rwanda, for the AIGF grantees training, the first cohort for this exciting project.

These grantees successfully passed the screening and matching challenge phases by raising up to $5,000 each from multiple small donors, unlocking an equal match from the Fund. Their commitment and creativity are truly inspiring.

As trainers, we led dynamic and practical sessions designed to build their capacity in finance, communication, networking, digital fundraising tools, and local resource mobilization.

With over 12 years of experience mobilizing grassroots communities and raising donations from over 5,000 small donors for impactful development interventions at Hereafter Ghana, I had the pleasure of always being the “icing on the cake.”

My session focused on actionable local fundraising techniques, tools, and skills always paired with real-time fundraising tasks. This time, we raised over $500 during a 30 minutes exercise during the session!

As both a trainer and coach, I don’t just teach theory I provide hands-on, practical experiences that help participants identify and seize local fundraising opportunities they may not have tried before.

Grateful to The New Africa Fund, my fellow trainers, and all the passionate grantees from the 10 organizations across Africa. Together, we’re building the future of grassroots-led development.

FUNDRAISING TRAINING FOR MANDELA WASHINGTON FELLOWS AT DREXEL UNIVERSITY – PART I

I’m honored to be one of 25 exceptional Mandela Washington Fellowship at Drexel University Philadelphia. Together, we represent 20 diverse African countries — including Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Eswatini, Congo, Rwanda, Mali, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and more.

Beyond learning from U.S. institutions and civic models, one of the most valuable aspects of this fellowship has been the internal learning and collaboration among fellows. We each bring unique strengths and stories, and I was thrilled to contribute mine through a Fundraising Training Session I facilitated for my colleagues.

We explored:

-The basics of fundraising
-Effective tools and techniques
-Creating and maintaining monthly donors
-Effective donor communication and relations
-Crowdfunding for developmental interventions
-How to tailor strategies to our different country contexts.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Many fellows shared how practical and energizing the session was and I’m excited that several have already subscribed to my One-Year Fundraising Coaching Offer.

This is my passion, equipping African changemakers to sustainably fund their visions for social impact.
This is what I do and love to teach, it brings me so much joy

‼️LAUNCHING MY FUNDRAISING FIRM TODAY‼️

🚀 As a Trained and experienced fundraiser with specific focus on local resource mobilization.

Today, I launch a bold step toward reshaping how institutions raise funds to power community change.

Too many impactful ideas die not because they lack passion, but because they lack resources. exists to bridge that gap training NGOs, social enterprises, and grassroots organizations to tap into local funding, build trust-based donor networks, and secure the support needed to sustain their interventions.

💡 Why choose ?
Because the most sustainable funding is the one rooted in the very community you serve. We don’t just teach fundraising we help you build a culture of giving, storytelling, and accountability that lasts.

If you’re ready to fund your mission from the ground up, this is your moment.

📩 Let’s partner. Let’s grow. Let’s fund impact locally and powerfully.
